Belvedere and Klimt

Few steps from the Railwaystation Suedbahnhof in Vienna there is the Belvedere Palace with Kiss by Klimt in its art collection.




Belvedere was built as a summer residence by one (rich enough) prince.
It is a museum now with collection of paintings and medieval art exponents.







There are actually two buildings: lower and upper Belvedere - masterpieces of Baroque architecture, connected by a symmetrical garden.





My favourite and the best known is Kiss by austrian artist Gustav Klimt.



It is just beautiful to walk around, have a view of Vienna, enter the building to admire art works...
